Off the Green.

We chose to work with the environment already at hand. This being the natural rules of skating, improvisation, innovation and freedom. The Camberwell Magistrates building had been derelict for some time, accumulating skaters from the neighbourhood as a result of its open landscape, they used the banisters on the entrance as grind rails; the concourse as a a freestyle arena and the shelter as a chill spot.

This project served as a reminder that my art has a place in this world and it is my duty and responsibility to place it and ensure it serves to inspire, connect and educate. Finding the inception of anything allows me to understand how it functions and how to engage with it creatively. Figures that were responsible for what skating is now, seeking to merge the past with the present, illustrations are overlaid to create more interesting imagery but also represent all cultures as one.
